Liver cells have many functions, and one of which is a production of plasma proteins. Therefore, studies on synthesis and production of plasma proteins from hepatocytes are very important for the recognition of various hepatic dysfunctions, clinically. Of late years, a lot of the complex mechanism of protein synthesis and--secretion was elucidated by using a technique of liver cell culture, for example, primary monolayer culture by freshly isolated hepatocytes and cloned cell culture derived from hepatocellular carcinoma. This paper described the results of our observations and other researchers, and then discussed the point of production of human major plasma proteins using the above culture methods, such as albumin, alpha-fetoprotein and transferrin. Furthermore, we showed statistically that half of twenty-six human hepatoma cell lines established until 1988 in Japan, had already lost their secretory potencies of major plasma proteins in vitro.

D006528 Carcinoma, Hepatocellular A primary malignant neoplasm of epithelial liver cells. It ranges from a well-differentiated tumor with EPITHELIAL CELLS indistinguishable from normal HEPATOCYTES to a poorly differentiated neoplasm. The cells may be uniform or markedly pleomorphic, or form GIANT CELLS. Several classification schemes have been suggested.

D012709 Serum Albumin A major protein in the BLOOD. It is important in maintaining the colloidal osmotic pressure and transporting large organic molecules. Plasma Albumin,Albumin, Serum
D014168 Transferrin An iron-binding beta1-globulin that is synthesized in the LIVER and secreted into the blood. It plays a central role in the transport of IRON throughout the circulation. A variety of transferrin isoforms exist in humans, including some that are considered markers for specific disease states.
